The album features performances by notable artists such as Kathryn Grayson, Tony Martin, Judy Garland, Virginia O'Brien, Lena Horne, and June Allyson.

Due to the limitations of the 78-rpm format, the songs were abridged versions of those heard in the film.

The film itself was noted for its lavish musical numbers, though some critics felt the story was lackluster.
